What is the Bigger Upset? BJ/Frankie or GSP/Hardy?

LuckyD · #1 03-03-2010

I thought this would be a fun little discussion.

My question is, at this point in time, which of these two is a bigger upset right now?

Basing this on GSP's destruction of BJ is irrelevent for this topic.

Not many expect Hardy to beat GSP to state the obvious, however the underdog here possesses an ability in his one punch KO power to at least have that proverbial puncher's chance. Frankie posseses no such ability to beat BJ. So I'd have to go with Frankie over BJ as being the bigger upset...

Thoughts?

...Words even?

Easily Frankie over BJ. With Hardy you know he has KO power. Frankie is a very good, solid fighter but he doesnt have big time power. BJ is better at everything so Frankie has little chance. While GSP is clearly superior than Hardy in all facets. Hardy has the power to turn any fight around with one clean shot. Plus GSP was caught before by Serra.

Same reason I chose Frankie over BJ. The talent discrepancy is higher between GSP and Hardy than Edgar and Penn, but Edgar doesn't have a flash KO chance like Hardy does, and a flash KO is the only way either upset happens.

I say GSP would be the bigger upset. Hardy's only chance is the catch GSP with a punch. I think GSP learned from the serra fight and since he can take any fight to the ground at will, it wont be very hard to ground and pound a decision since GSP has lost the ability to finish fights it seems.

BJ would be less likely to be an upset unless BJ fails to train well enough.

I'll say Frankie over BJ

BJ is just insane right now and i dont see Frankie bringing anything that can beat him i mean Frankie lost to Grey Maynard how can he possibly beat BJ

BJ/Edgar,,,,GSP has been caught in the past by a big punch. BJ has never been dominated by a wrestler at 155

Excellent question as I see both have about the same chance of winning. I went with Edgar just because it has happened to GSP already so wouldn't come quite as a shock.

Frankie over BJ.

Because of the Serra fight, it wouldn't surprise me to see Hardy land a big shot and stagger Georges.

Frankie offers nothing IMO.
